Grease Gun Not Working Properly

Hello All,

I have a basic grease gun. It is the type that is pumped manually.

This past weekend I replaced the grease cartridge. This involved pulling the spring loaded plunger back into the locked position, removing the old/empty cylinder, sliding the new cylinder into the pump (with caps removed of course!), screwing the cap/pump back into place, and unlocking the plunger causing it to slide back into the gun.

Problem: When I pump the gun, no grease comes out. Help?

Side note: I saw a post from someone else having a gun get stuck on the fitting, and someone else responded that the just give it a twist. That solution works for me too.

Thanks in advance for your help/advice.

Best,

DG
